Zuckerberg is writing op-eds & sending out Clegg & flying from Germany to Ireland today... right over the country that more than any other in last year has tried to hold him to account. And that is in the middle of a shitshow his platform helped created

Meanwhile, this is excellent news. Well done @DamianCollins & @CommonsCMS. Bad luck @Facebook. You can run but you can’t hide...

‘This is not democracy. Lies spread in darkness paid for with cash from God knows where.’ Two days ago I accused @Facebook of breaking democracy. @TEDchris told them they were free to respond at any time. So far? Nothing but silence...

I began the talk in Ebbw Vale, the Welsh town I visited on the day after the Brexit vote. There’s another fascinating aspect to this. You know who else went there a year later? @facebook’s head of global comms & our ex-deputy prime minister @nick_clegg

You used to serve the British people @nick_clegg. And you know how important this is. And, now, you have the evidence. Are you really going to just ignore this??

3 years ago, I was utterly unable to speak in public. I took betablockers to speak at my own father’s funeral. And on Monday I did this. Love me, loathe me...whatever. But human to human, please try & recognise how urgent I believe this is by the sheer fucking terror in my voice
‘This is not about left or right or Leave or Remain or Trump or not. It’s about whether it’s possible to have a free & fair election ever again.’ Full video here. Please watch. And pls politicians, don’t even think of new election before passing new laws

Finally, @facebook is actually sponsoring #TED2019. And this was deeply uncomfortable & unsettling for them & others. Kudos & great thanks to courage of @TEDTalks & @TEDchris & @CyndiStivers for giving me the space to speak. And to the amazing audience who cheered me on 👏👏👏

Well, I'd love to know what evidence @afneil has for this statement. The Sun was a passionate cheerleader for Brexit. And within 24 hrs of BeLeave receiving the £675k we know now was illegal....guess what Sun's headline was? Go on...have a WILD & CRAZY guess..
Yes! Guess who else BeLeaved? Rupert Murdoch! And remember who was the co-convener of Vote Leave? Only Rupert's main man, @michaelgove
So, sure @afneil. I'm all ears. I'd love to know what you know. But here's the @nytimes' piece - that took 6 months & involved 150 interviews - and concludes Murdoch has destabilised democracy on at least 2 continents.

TODAY: State lawmakers will hear for the first time #SB50, the bill that allows four- to five-story apartments near transit and more. Unlike last year’s version of the legislation authored by Sen. @Scott_Wiener, SB 50 should advance out of its first committee. Here’s why: (1/6)
@Scott_Wiener The first reason is pretty obvious. Senate leader @ToniAtkins created a new housing committee and put Wiener in charge of it. That’s where the bill will be heard today. It’s rare for a committee chair’s bill to get killed in their own committee. But there are more reasons. (2/6)
Unlike last year, SB 50 has the support of the state’s construction workers’ union and more robust support from environmental groups. And many who represent tenants — while still wary — have not taken a position while their immediate opposition helped crush the bill in 2018 (3/6)

Thread: In 2014, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child examined the Holy See's human rights record. Regarding #Ireland it noted patterns of 'torture and other cruel or degrading treatment' and 'sale of children, trafficking & abduction' #papalvisit tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/treat…
UNCRC noted Vatican's failure to investigate the arbitrary incarceration and 'slavery-like' conditions of girls and women in Magdalene Laundries
In addition to providing accountability and redress, the Committee urged the Vatican to take 'all necessary measures to ensure that women and children are not arbitrarily confined for any reason whatsoever in Catholic institutions in the future'.

#Zuckerberg | You remind me of “Kalden” in the book “The Circle”; the founder of a big data company, growing out of his control, influencing elections.
#Zuckerberg | Nearly every year since 2003 there was a wrongdoing or problem for which you had to apologise; twice in 2017 and three times in 2018 and we are only May! Are you capable to fix it?
#Zuckerberg | You said you will apply the new #GDPR, but are you telling the truth? Since the outbreak of the #CambridgeAnalytica scandal, you transferred European data of non EU citizens to servers outside Europe, which is forbidden.

Last week, two bills passed the MO General Assembly that are great news for kids in foster care & for foster care & adoption in Missouri. You can read a summary here: facebook.com/FirstLadySheen…
We spent most of last year meeting with advocates from all over the State of Missouri to hear about what needed to be done differently. I'm grateful to everyone who played a part in that research process. /2
I'm also grateful to everyone in @EricGreitens office & @DSS_Missouri who worked to turn these ideas into actual legislative proposals: @willscharf @MaddieMcMillian @ToddScott2 @JennaeMNeustadt @TheJakeBuxton @CaitlinNWhaley @tjdeckerone @SteveCorsi @parkerwbriden /3

The hearing is now officially starting, with opening remarks from the ranking members of both committees (Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee).
In her opening remarks, Sen. Feinstein mentions last night's news that Cambridge Analytica had access to Facebook users' private direct messages.
I hope someone asks Zuckerberg how Facebook can claim they didn't know Cambridge Analytica was still using data they harvested, given that FB sent employees to "embed" w/ the Trump campaign's digital team — so FB employees were working in the same office as Cambridge Analytica.

Except you don't have the consciousness to do that- only what you've, perhaps, been programmed to register, process, or maybe transmit/emit. Here in #Ireland on the other hand there are 💚s everywhere hoping to #repealthe8th #LISTENUP #Focus on #Caring #Now to ensure #legislation

3/ Think you want to **Repeal the 8️⃣️th** 💚s? This is a sane quote from here, Ireland, today:"The dissolution of the Dáil would see the simultaneous dissolution of all Oireachtas Committees. ---
